What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 140

Another grainy shot from my phone. Because it's rather too early to fiddle about with the card reader section of the PC which for some reason won't work right now. OH well, you're used to rubbish pictures. Now, the section of my desk that you can see shows that I have actually been making some cards. Oh yeah. Can't say 'I'm back' particularly, but at least I'm doing something! Loads of rolls of glue dots at back...funny how favourites come around and go around. The button jar is being used illegaly to store a glue pen...or more correctly, a tube of PVA glue that is impossible to squeeze glue out of unless it's right in the tip. And for a change, I can honestly say that the presence of the stapler has nothing to do with me. When I left the house for a fun night with The Coven, it wasn't there. So I can safely surmise that Mr D or Miss D has done something paper related this evening. I'm posting at a ridiculous time today, to see if it helps or hinders you..please let me know! So, share your space..desk, floor, tray, arm of chair, kitchen worktop..wherever and whatever you are creating, we like to see. Use WOYWW in your post title so we can find it easily, and link your post here....we'll visit if we can. But you have to visit too...reciprocal nosiness is very much a part of this thing!

Hi, Everyone I cant believe I'm number one whoop whoop, see what happens when you cant sleep and the lovely Julia sets up WOYWW just after midnight, thank you Julia x x x x.Lots going on Julie on your desk, with glue,brads, is that a album I see on your deck chair ?? looks very interesting, Have a great WOYWW, Hugs May x x x x x

Hi Julia - number 2, I can't believe I've manage that??? Is it only May and I who are still up at this silly o'clock? And, bonus, you've posted early too ... working out fine for me this week but who knows what will happen next week - I might actually be in bed :) Anyway, good to see that you are crafting again and that the evidence is there for us all to see. That's it - I'm off to make a cuppa before I try to get some sleep. Happy WOYWW to you. Elizabeth x #2

Cant believe it ... I'm even nearer the top this week...3 ...I LOVE that you post at night as I'm not a very early riser and by 9am I am usually over the 50 mark.You desk looks so busy ....I think it looks like a very productive crafter lives in that room.I'm off to bed now XX

Well looks like youve been busy bee with such creative busy desk.Also i spot some distress inks hiding there?Im alate going to bedder as have imsomnia and get up around 4am .So im ok with whatever time .As 00.00hrs is actualy woyww .Have happy wednesday and kep arm n safehugs judex 4

Always interesting. Hope you are feeling better, and I totally get the stapler situation. I came home to find my printer with all red lights flashing, and a piece of lined notebook paper jammed up in it. Apparently someone tried to print something...

I swear Blogger has it in for me!!!! Yet AGAIN it's tried to send everyone the wrong place!!! Wey Hey so you're back.....sort of, you know what get some Flitter, it'll bring you back big style!!! Serious Playtime!! now why is it that kids, grown and small, always assume that a crafting desk is a dumping ground? AND if you left their stuff lying around all over Their space, they would get huffy,( erm can you tell that thats been going on at mine?) and expect you to put it right....cheeky!! is what I call it, tidying up is what THEY call it!

Aha... we will get our detective hats on and surmise that perhaps Mr D has been making you an amazing Valentine's card... LOL... perhaps not eh? Actually, the desk doesn't look too bad from this angle... you actually have space on the mat to do something!!

I think it's a great 'what you see is what you get snap' and after my computer crashing 5 times during my WOYWW post - I'm glad to see any resemblance of a crafty zone!Hubby only comes near my desk if he wants his trousers mending...!

love that you are posting so early, it is perfect for us over the other side of the pond! very odd about the mysterious movements of the stapler, perhaps someone has made you a Valentines card while you were absent!Happy WOYWW, Debxx #22

Hi Julia, That looks like a proper desk. Almost any sort of glue needs storing upside down, I reckon. Nobody touches my desk mess, but if they did, it would only be for the scissors. Your early posts work great for those of us on the other side of the planet, hehe!

Happy WOYWW to you! I am a glue dot junkie - I like the tiny ones because I find them the most versatile! Of course, I always have to be careful that neither I or the cats end up sporting those dots in our hair!!!

Your grainy photo is better than I do with an automatic idiot proof camera! Lots of interesting things on your desk. I have been trying to make cards and I have a great respect for you people who can make them. It's really hard!Von #27 :)

I loe your desk shot today Julia - wish I could see what the upside down stamp was, will you not learn to leave them right way up for us!!! The card looks fab, btw. Hope you had a good night out. If you post at 1am I will have to get used to a place lower down the list as there is no way I can stay up that late to catch you, lol. Back to bed for my early morning cuppa before getting up all too soon, now!

Lots of fun things on your desk today. Looks like it's been used. Looks like your card has HERO on it. Find out tomorrow where my son will be deployed to next. Keep your fingers crossed for a great place.Enjoy the week and hoping you receive a BIG HEART before next WOYWW.

Oh well, if you start to post at midnight I'll never be high on the list! Still if that's what you want to do... so welcome back. Remember to take it easy and don't scare mr mojo away again. Your desk is looking productive and fun.

Hi Juliabusy desk as always,not used me glue dots in ages, never got on with them, who has been playing in your craftroom while you were out, gave them selves away leaving the stapler.Don't mind what time you post i just post when im up, more in the 50s now its early but hey ho.Have great day, happy WOYWW, sue,x

Yay! It is letting me leave a comment this week. Some weeks it is a guess and by golly whether it has a mind of its own or I am just screwing up something! I came home tonight to find stuff out of place on my desk too! It looked like the cats had jumped up to investigate all the colorful bits on the desk! Hope you have a great week! Vickie #51

JUlia, I cannot believe that you are still up at past midnight posting! LOL...desk looks very well loved this week.. and it is always odd when things get put back or "misplaced" on one's desk!! Have a good dayxx

An impressive desk as always Julia, you are always so industrious!I noticed the stapler sitting at the front of your desk but through by bleary eyes (no glasses on yet) it looked like a toy bus. Obviously now you mention it I can see it’s not but wonder for a split second what you were doing playing with boys toys. Lol.Best find those glasses quickly me thinks.

Oh Julia...I think I spy a valentines card...maybe for your Hero...Mr D???I like that little easel to prop it up...I am always losing things on my desk...Looks like you have been busy creating...It's my second week and I'm already addicted! Love that you organize this!!!

At least the stapler was there (I assume it is yours?). When other people craft in my house it usually means I will spend a week going around their bedrooms retrieving various bits and pieces. Especially scissors, which is why I have so many pairs. You probably had all your congrats already but I have been away - was pleased to see you featured in Craft Stamper magazine but wonder how big this is gonna get - 7.30am and I look set to be n0 58 or so..... you've created a monster LOL. Go Julia!!

Boo I could have posted last night if I have re-looked after catching your url for my link... anyway, whatever just keep on posting... SO glad your mojo has come home and has given you such a busy deskFrankiexx

Lots of fun crafty things on your desk, how can you not be inspired? Apologies I had already posted when I read that WOYWW was needed in the title and I was being all creative with it instead ;)** Kate **

Oooh lovely busy desk there and I spy a distress stain there too! such fun! I havent joined in again this week as am running around like a headless chicken here and not doing much crafting - last time I joined in I couldnt seem to comment on many people either - blooming blogger! Hope you are well and have a fab week.

ooh Mrs D shaking it up with a variation in publication times, get you,

grainy shots are good and usually follow vodka shots featuring strangely angled and entangled same sex teenager friends, now that would shock us a grainey drunken shot of mrS and and mR d in a valentines wowywwer desk shocker clinch....

Well last week I got up early and posted at 2mins past 6am only to find you had posted on Tuesday!! today I've posted at 8.45am and am #74!! It's easy to schedule a post, it's the linking that is the difficult bit. anyway, with all the time differences in the world who cares, you win some, you lose some, it's all fun no matter what. Hugs Joanne xx

It looks like you're doing messy crafting at the mo! I can't upload pics. at present as we've got a new puter so will have to wait till next week for woyww. Your Dunnit's may want to know you can get coloured staples now, depending on who used it lol. Happy woyww xx

OMG!! I just caught the "you might also like" and it says "8 months till Christmas"!!! It has given me palpitations girl!! Far too early in the day for shocking things like that!! Need a lie down and a cup of tea, though I will have to drink it when I am sat up or it will dribble down my neck!! LOL!!

Great creative mess up there but god to know you are making some cards. I thought that blue stapler was a toy blue bus in my early morning stupor!! Off to the airport very soon so flying round a few desks before I fly for real.JoZarty x

Re. your SD card reader problem. If the reader seems to have given up the ghost, never fear. You can buy a little gizmo like a USB stick, it goes into a USB port but has a slot in the side for you to stick your SD card in. I know this 'cos my SD card reader spring mechanism became unreliable (over use from blogging!) and it was a life saver. Having said that, I just used it earlier and have now lost the flipping lid somewhere on my desk!! Di xx

I like the idea of Ickle Craftlings coming to place random items in the way of your photos, a ladder, a stapler, what will it be next week? I don't thing it matters what time you post, I am just grateful to be able to join in at some point. Glad your mojo is returning, its good to see you at play xx (why so few comments for so many links? Naughty people ;-))

I feel like a real stop in bed posting at lunchtime when everyone has stopped up especially. Call me daft but I love my sleep too much especially in this chilly weather!!! Anyway, we had a power cut last night just after midnight. One minute I was engrossed in my book, the next plunged into darkness so I'd have been in the middle of linking if I'd stayed up!!!I thought you were bathed in glorious sunshine when I first investigated your desk Julia, but I'm guessing it's a light. The glue dots companies must love you, I've never seen so many roles on one desk.Happy WOYWWHugs Lisax #112

Lol! at the button jar having an illegal immigrant! Can't believe I'm #121 and it's not that late in the day ... WOYWW is so popular - you do a great job, Julia - you have enthused so many crafters to share, which in turn means that we all get inspiration from one another - thank you x

I don't think your photo looks grainy at all, but maybe I'm a bit bleary eyed still this morning :) I always find things moved around on my desk too, usually from my oldest, but sometimes from the husband....

Seeing as how I was supposed to be somewhere "10-ish" and it is currently "10-ish," this has to be quick. Love the glue pen in the button jar... we crafters can easily find a spot that suits our needs! *smile*

Too funny! Everyone is posting how early they are..I post 2 day's ahead of usual, and I'm close to the same spot! I must have free borders; an immigrant glue pen would never even be noticed! Your desk is looking so tidy this week-I'd love to see the cards close up. Have a great weekend.

There are a 143 entries already before me! Wonderful - yet so many to visit - and I want to see them all! It is difficult to leave comments and yet I love it when someone leaves me one! What to do! Wishing you a happy day!

Jules the desk looks deliciously active. Love the colors on the card peeking out in the upper right corner. I almost forgot to comment here today as I was eager to visit as many desks as possible before I had to leave for a tennis tournament out of State today. Thanks as always for hosting this wonderful event! ~Happy WOYWW (#30) Robin Panzer Art Studio 33

Still busy I see :0)I try to visit as many as I can but get too much pain if on the lappy too long but those I do manage to get round give me such joy to see what they have been up too .Enjoy your week :0))Fuchsia 145

I would like to think that the stapler just went snap snap snap and jumped onto your desk to be the feature of the pic this week. It's obv he's suffering from lack of attention syndrome, and maybe he needs refilling. Just give him some love this week OK...Leandra

Gosh Julia, it seems you weren't the only one to get an early start!!Your desk does look very busy this week. Looks like the crop-a-dile even got a bit of a workout. Love the button doo dads. Thanks for letting us share what we do.

Hello, I'm from the Button Jar Police and I'm here to cite you for your infraction of co-mingling glue with buttons. You'll have to appear before the magistrate and there is bound to be fine, possibly jail time....

It's so nice to be back with you this week. I've been absent with so many distractions and a lack of focus to boot!

I seriously must have attempted to write about 3 or 4 blog posts to join in over the last few months (I know its not a lot) and each time I start, things just happen with me which stops me in my tracks! I've even had my post this week on the go since last week!

I trust you are well and still staging this wonderful phenomenon each week. What a committment. ou rock!!!

Tons of people linking up today! That is awesome! I am late as usual! Lol! So glad you were able to make some cards this week! I have only just begun on my card making journey!! :) I am loving it so far!!

OMG! Maybe the traveling Gnome has come by early for Valentine's Day? I have noticed that 6 of my garden Gnomes have disappeared and I have two just wondering about the ivy and roses. It seems that every week, I have a new Gnome to come visit and one has traveled onward?What a fabulous messy desk! I just love it! It's creativity at it's finest! Hugs to you all for the wonderful inpsiration!!

This is such a fun and popular weekly event. It's not even noon here in California and I'm number 171! Super to meet so many other people. Julia, I'm sorry, but I hit "tab" after my name and the site jumped and entered me at the bottom of WYOWW 139. I don't know how to delete it, so I left it there and just relinked again for today's 140. I guess it's sort of okay since my post is a continuation of last week's, but I'm sorry if it messes anything up. Thanks always for hosting this!

I am late - and I had to move to our dinner table as the light in my scraproom is rotten in the evening when it comes to taking pictures - but for ONCE I remembered to show something on a wednesday. =0)

hi there got here eventually. I must have just missed you posting, then I over slept by half an hour and didnt have time before work, so here I am at 8.00pm. I'm intreged to know what you are doing with all those eyelets?????janet aka fairy thoughts #167

Evening Julia, haven't managed to visit many desks today, which is a bit of a shame after 3 weeks of 150+ oh well hopefully Wednesday won't come around again so quickly (where does the rest of the week go?) and i might get chance to visit everyone. Thank you for the fab advice on the glimmer mists i have no idea what to do with them so was going to look on utube for some tutorials so i will try your technique, and see what backgrounds i can make Hope you have a great week. Lou xx

Hi again Julia, Those water soluble oil pastels (Reeves brand) cost less than $14 (AUST). So, VERY reasonable, and they are good enough for me, at this time. (I know those Caran d'Ache ones are exhorbitantly expensive!) I'm very pleased with the way these work. And there are quite a few interesting projects in "Art to Wear"!

Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh! I left it sooo late I'm almost 200 ..oh, alright not quite...but, I am number 192 ... shameful. But....I am still on the date ...if barely... and now...ohhhh me achin' eyes......off tooooo my bed..zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Thanks for visiting my blog and yes, I'm glad to be back again. Good do hear you like the coloured stamps. It motivates me to go on with the learning process and try to use these new materials on different ways.xFranka

Well, it is obvious I missed the early call but where the heck I was at the time I have no idea. Number 195 - that is shameful for me.Lovely industrious desk Julia, as who it is that has been at it.Might be able to find mine some time next week (but bet it is not tidy as I will have to craft somewhere else)Hugs, Neet xx

Just finished desk 199 (boy, oh boy do we need a 'friendly' please your dump your WV request...) Never typed so many annoying, futile words in my life...I'm sat here spelling them out each time loud like I've suddenly developed Google Tourette's Syndrome and they keep getting longer and more wonky with each blog....! Phew...

Ok so I am the 200th and its my first submission - although I think I put it in the wrong one a minute ago?!? hopefully I had mastered it now? Anyways love all the workspaces such creatively disordered organisation!?!

Hi...me again, I posted the candle holder that, on Wednesday, I'd hoped to create. It took awhile and several attempts, but I'm happy with what I've made. Now on to cleaning up so I can make another mess for next week :-)
